sb: What are you looking for a scoop for? Not the hydro. You should get it running before you start wasting money on pretty accesories... :D :D :D
Are you going to Red Bluff with us this year?

First off I would like to say that your attitude stinks. Second, yes I'm about 90% sure I'll go to Red Bluff. BTW, did you hear what happened to the motor? Heatseeker:

That is a single bolt that vibrated out of my tunnel ram. The bolts holding the two pieces together are on the inside of the intake. The worst part is that the boat was running cherry before the bolt fell in. Heatseeker:

That sucks! Is the head wasted? It sure doesn't look too good. I hope you can save it.
You've had the worst luck with that damn thing! Hopefully you'll get it all ironed out this time...for good!

Our engine guy is welding it up, he said it isnt too bad. Fortunatly, other than the piston, everything seems to be ok. We are going to tear it down to make sure. Dad shut it down as soon as it started to clatter.

Where were you when it went?. On the water or the trailer? How many times have you had to open the engine up? Seems like alot now.
I'm glad the tunnel ram I just scored has the bolts on the outside!

Dad had the boat on the lake, he and Ryan were going to make a pass when it happened.
Its a Weind tunnel ram, its just a bad design. Heatseeker:

Jethro, That sure looks like my uncles old boat: Mr. Mean. At the time, it was one fast mutha! My mom has a pic of me in that boat when I was 7 months old, making it my first boat ride ever.
Cool pics!!!
